PALS Fest: Sama Dams, Eidolons, Tango Alpha Tango

[POST-ROCK]Portland trio Sama Dams is the kind of band that nonchalantly mosses through six- or seven-minute experimental tracks without so much as a hiccup. It’s casual but certainly not thoughtless, a healthy mix of post-rock musing and extended atmospheric wandering. Sama Dams released No Vengeance earlier this year, a deliberately bumpy record that juggles time signatures and seemingly deconstructs and reconstructs itself over and over again. It’s engaging, and every listen reveals something different. Tango Alpha Tango and Eidolons join tonight’s PALS Fest fray, with related shows happening all week long at various venues.
